Does the bot need special permission to join a Zoom meeting?

It joins like any other guest — if your meeting has a waiting room, the host admits it once. If the account requires consent to record, that needs to be granted, or the bot will exit the meeting. Attendees themselves don't install anything; they just pick which language they want to read, which matters most on Zoom, where the other side of the call is often a client or vendor outside your own IT setup.

Which languages does it support on Zoom?

Sageio translates into 20+ languages, with Asian languages — Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese — treated as first-class. Several caption languages can run in the same meeting at once, because each participant chooses their own.

Does it show who said what, line by line?

Per-line speaker labels are currently a Google Meet feature. On Zoom you get the same per-person live captions, translated transcript, and AI summary — just without that line-by-line "who said what" attribution.

What does it cost to try on a real Zoom meeting?

Every plan starts with a free 60-minute trial, no credit card required. After that, Professional is $49/month and Teams is $99 per seat/month (each seat covers up to 5 people).

Real-time meeting translation for Zoom

To translate a Zoom meeting in real time, add the Sageio bot to the meeting — from your Sageio dashboard, point it at the Zoom meeting link, or add the bot to the invite. It joins like a guest, listens to the conversation, and gives every participant live captions in the language they choose, in about two seconds, across 20+ languages. If your meeting has a waiting room, admit the bot once, like any other guest.

Live captions — a Zoom meeting

AmaraLondon: Before we lock the contract — can you confirm the delivery window holds at six weeks even with the volume increase?; Bevor wir den Vertrag festlegen – können Sie bestätigen, dass sich das Lieferfenster auch bei höherem Volumen bei sechs Wochen hält?
LukasBerlin: Ehrlich gesagt, bei diesem Volumen brauchen wir eher acht Wochen, aber wir können sieben anbieten, wenn Sie die Bestellung bis Freitag bestätigen.; Honestly, at that volume we'd need closer to eight weeks, but we can offer seven if you confirm the order by Friday.
KenjiTokyo: 七週間で大丈夫です。金曜までに社内承認を取ります。; Seven weeks works. I'll get internal sign-off by Friday.

Why multilingual Zoom meetings go wrong

A Zoom call can include people outside your own company: Client kickoffs, supplier negotiations, partner calls — when the other side isn't on your company's systems, you can't ask them to install anything. Sageio's bot joins the meeting itself, the same way any guest would; attendees only pick which language they want to read.
One caption language can't fit a room that includes both sides: A single caption language helps whichever side reads it and leaves the other translating in their head — or worse, nodding along. Sageio captions are per-person: each participant picks their own language, from 20+ options, and everyone reads the same conversation at the same time.
The record has to work for two companies, not one: After a cross-language client or vendor call, whoever wrote up notes in their own language hands the other side a translation, not a record. Sageio delivers a searchable, translated transcript and an AI summary within about five minutes of the call ending, so both sides can act on the same words.

How to translate a Zoom meeting with Sageio

1Add the Sageio bot to your Zoom meeting — from your Sageio dashboard, point it at the Zoom meeting link, or add the bot to the invite. If your meeting has a waiting room, the host admits it once, like any other guest. If the external host's account requires consent to record, that needs to be granted — without it, the bot will exit the meeting.
2Each participant picks their own caption language — 20+ languages, chosen per person, not one setting for the room.
3Run the meeting normally. Translated captions appear in about two seconds, so nobody's waiting on a relay or a paraphrase.
4Afterward, a searchable translated transcript and an AI summary arrive within about five minutes, shared at the host's discretion.

As of August 2026, Sageio translates Zoom meetings into 20+ languages with per-person live captions, at about two seconds of delay.
